What would the Founding Fathers say about suing Arizona and pandering to illegal aliens instead of enforcing the law, in hopes of making them voters to help turn the United States into a socialist welfare state?

Quote from deadbroke:
Why exactly were the Founding Fathers so unanimously and unambiguously opposed to "proactively" exporting American values beyond our shores? Did they not want liberty to prevail all over the world, not just in America? What was their problem anyway? Were they too shortsighted or selfish, as the nomenklatura of the New World Order seem to imply, to understand the value of "making the world safe for democracy?"
The answer to all these questions is a resounding "No." The Founding Fathers were cultured cosmopolitans who devoutly hoped that liberty would triumph the world over. And no, their foreign policy prescriptions have not been rendered obsolete by jet travel and the Internet, because their soundness was not predicated on specific technologies. Rather, their strategic vision was grounded solidly in their grasp of fundamental human nature, which has evolved little since 1796, however we might wish otherwise.
The Founders, powdered wigs and all, were infinitely more "hip" than we give them credit for, and understood something our smug modern politicians do not. They understood that to yield to the powerful temptation to "do good" abroad carries an enormously expensive and hidden price tag: the loss of our own liberty at home.
They understood that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," that handing the political class the power they demand to impose "benevolent global hegemony" on the rest of the world permits them to impose a malevolent domestic dictatorship on Americans at home.

At a local auto store in Thailand (well into the Iraq war)
a group of well heeled businessmen heard me talk on my mobile, concluded I was yank, one said hello and then asked, "how can your country do such a thing?"
such was the sentiment all around, in almost every asian country and in many euro countries too ...
That cocksucker Bush killed 200 yrs. of goodwill in a week.
And the worst for me and Bobby was when we heard the TV commentators saying, "we've accomplished air superiority now" ..... yeah against inadequately armed men and women and children.

Then years later came the black man, THE BARACK. The whole world cheered and loved him instantly. Even whites all over the world loved this guy. And remember, he's black.
I remember seeing Brad Pitt being interviewd by Larry King. Brad was in Germany at the time. When Larry asked him about Barack, Brad took a whole minute to answer, so choked up the fellow was. Finally he said, "HOPE has arrived"
That was the sentiment about Barack.![]()

No but you clowns after feasting on credit for 1000s of years blame your shitty habits on the black guy, knowing full well he can't do a thing to stop this freight train - nobody can. Its gotta run its course.
No wonder the country's going to the dogs; can't even flow power to our president who was voted in by the people fair and square.
Barack is a masterpiece just like this song was/is a classic
Quote from Ricter:
Re your statement about how Bush wiped out 200 years of good will, that's a stretch, "Yankee go home" preceded the man. However, the supposed foreign policy reversal promised by Obama is why I think Obama won the Peace Prize; it was based on sentiment.
